The Tektronix exhibit at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2015 showcased the latest release of the industry’s fastest and most scalable automated file-based QC solution, Aurora 6.0, first time at an industry event.

Cable operators must process massive – and growing – volumes of incoming content while ensuring the correctness and quality of the media files. With the launch of Aurora and Hydra Player earlier this year, Tektronix helps meet this challenge with a best-in-class solution for automated file-based quality control. Aurora and Hydra enable real-time 4K QC analysis and playback while Aurora 6.0 is capable of testing 4K in any container or codec.

Closed Caption and Audio Loudness Compliance

Under March 2015 FCC guidelines, cable operators must meet standards for television closed captioning for accuracy, synchronicity, completeness and placement. In addition, the FCC has imposed new requirements for record keeping and viewer complaints.

To help operators meet these requirements, Sentry provides an interactive display to quickly show if a program is experiencing closed caption presence or error issues, along with codes to describe the type of error. Sentry also provides 60 days of statistics.

Within Aurora 6.0, the AutoFix solution including audio correction capabilities is now embedded for increased productivity.
